What Do Real Thugs Think of The Wire?

Freakonomics writes What Do Real Thugs Think of The Wire? "Last year, I learned a lot by watching a few episodes of The Wire with gang leaders in Chicago. So, a few weeks ago, I called a few respected street figures in the New York metro region to watch the upcoming fifth season." Good stuff.

A comment pointed me at The Economics of The Wire for even more good stuff.

I'm really getting the itch to go out and buy the first 4 seasons on DVD and rewatch them. It's really one of the best shows ever on television (well HBO), much better than The Sopranos. I saw the Season 5 premiere on Monday and it rocked.
